Data Quality

Data: Low

Lively offers moderate expected upside (16%) over 2 years, driven by exceptional growth but tempered by high incumbent risk and a severe preference stack (40.5% of valuation).

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (20%)+160%

IPO window opens by 2027, multiple holds at 18x on $69M revenue forecast. Category leadership in HSA tech drives expansion, delivering 2.6x return net of 20% dilution.

Base (40%)+26%

Dilution Risk

Secondary Liquidity

moderate

Secondary market exists (source of current valuation), but employee access to tenders is limited and likely restricted until a liquidity event.
